At the recent forestry congress at
De Funiak Springs, Florida, several
examples of achievements in forest cul-
ture were cited. There was the plan
of Louis Napoleon, who planted great
forests Of pine in Southern France to
supply his navy. Bramanchire, who
stopped the disastrous deluge of sand
from the great dunes near the Bay Of
Biscay by planting a forest Of trees
where it was thought nothing would
grow, was praised for his persistence
and patience. The growing of forest
on the desert sands Of Cape Cod, Mas
sachusetts, was spoken of as a grand
accomplishment. May the day soon
come when the once wilderness slopes
Of the Hawaiian mountains, by enter
prise and energy clothed with valuable

| trust am not intruding on your
hospitality thus broadened" by ask
ing for space for some words addition
nj on the question that has been ex-
planned aiready-the church and the
club. The writer in your issue Of
July % estates his views with strength
and elegance and as I Go not wish
his remarks to convey u ''pernicious
influence upon the minds of our
young people, I beg to reply to "S."
The writer has from an ethical
standpoint changed base from the
sentiments expressed in former ar
tlcles, and although holding my letter
to close examination and condemna-
ton, still discovered Il few remarks
worthy of notice.
The few scriptural interpretations
that were ''peculiarly secular, un-
fortunate, misleading and erroneous"
according to "S.,n become the subject
for nice anecdote, the product Of
a science that the secular mind
knows nothing of pa science that
laughs derisively at one attempting to
interpret the Scriptures, through
thirst for knowledge, although not
blessed with the "Holy Spirit that is
neither flesh nor thought "a science
that condemns ethical culture and is
constantly adopting ethics in "mislead-
ing" the people "a science that looks
to happiness in world it knows
nothing of, while it makes life
miserable in this "a science that made
its followers swallow many "sugar-
coated pills" that would be poison to
others "a ''sclence" that has made a
different creed or church out of each
misconstruction of a passage from the
Bible "a science that existed for CEN
turies and is unable to give moral
code "a science that will not "cast
out devils" in the name of club "a
science that ''Is not the product of the
human mind" yet directed scientific

physicians, teachers and, ADORE all, ministers

for cheerful, exciting physical exercise.

back l like them. Although do not practice
billiards, yet as they have in them no neces-
sty of bad company, no necessity of tempta-
ton, but gentle excitement and exercise, it
is inexcusable, when we are suffering from
the want of just such things, if we permit
them to go so into the hands of tempt alton
that they are disreputable, or that is danger
Gus for any man to indulge in them. We
spare no pains to redeem laws and institutions
from malign spirits, from satanic influences ;
and ! hold it to be a part of christian duty to
redeem amusemcnts from immortality and
evil tendencies, so that the young may enjoy
all their benelits.without being subjected to
any risk or peril other than that which is
incidental to human life.
After showing that "fesh has always
been flesh and spirit has always been
spirit''-that if you eat anything that
hurts you and you know it, that it is a
sin-not on account of the physiologic-
al doctrine, he adds, "but on account
Of the fact that it hurts you," Mr..
Beecher concludes his letter Ill the
following manner:
And in reference to amusements, when
from the peculiar circumstance or education
or position of any young man, it is found
that any amusement is leading him away
from morals, repectability and industry that
is enough. The general doctrine of amuse-
ments is for the community, and if from any
circumstance there is reason why a par
ticular amusement should be foregone by
any young man it does not alter the doctrine
for the community but only in its application
to him individually.
